The Education of Mrs. Brimley †
Lusinda Havershaw is a member of a little known phenomenon called the nevidimi, who have a variety of odd powers.† Lusindaís is rather bothersome, even though she inherited it from her mother.† Lusinda becomes invisible when exposed to moonlight.† She can ďphaseĒ into invisibility just by soaking up the moonís rays going from full visibility to a ghostlike glow to nothing.† Because this just causes some people to react rather irrationally, she and her family have had to move around a lot.† Even in London in 1877, the people are not very accepting of this type of uniqueness.
To help the family, which consists of her aunt Eugenia and her younger sisters Portia and Rhea, Lusinda offers her services to people who have lost items through no fault of their own.† For instance, Mrs. Farthington lost her necklace when her husband bet it on a game of cards.† She hired Lusinda to ďrecover itĒ for her.† Thus, Lusinda was seen (no pun intended) by a master safecracker in the home of the Pembertons.†
James Locke, master spy for England, was in the Pembertonsí study trying to find a list of agents that Pemberton was said to have.† This list would, if given to the Russians, put a whole lot of British agents in danger, and the man at the top of the list would be Locke.† He is amazed when he hears the door and sees nothing.† Nothing until the safe opens and the necklace seemingly floats in the air.† After his initial shock, he is intrigued and he investigates.† He tricks Lusinda into ďa recovery missionĒ at his home and traps her.† It is then he discovers that it is she who is invisible.† He decides to blackmail her into helping him find the list.
Locke is not just a spy.† He is an injured spy, trying to hide from the world that he is in trouble.† Locke suffered injuries while in a Russian prison and he only escaped with the help of his friend Marcus Ramsden.† One of the injuries affected his nervous system and his hands tremble, making it hard to crack the tumblers on a safe.† He sees his chance to finish the missing list using Lusindaís invisible hands.† However, he is surprised at his reaction to her beauty and the knowledge that when she is on a mission, she is completely naked.† Her clothes, you see, donít disappear in the moonlight.
Lusinda, on the other hand, is resentful that Locke sees her as a thief, when she has rationalized her ability as recovering goods that others have lost.† She never keeps them, always returning them to their rightful owner.† Unfortunately, she also realizes the law would not see things the same way and they would not be tolerant of her powers.† Her safety and her reputation are always on her mind, because she knows her sisters cannot have a happy life if it is discovered that she is part of the Nevidimi, a Russian sect that has these powers.
There is a great deal of humor and tongue-in-cheek repartee between Locke and Lusinda that make this a fun novel to read.† The sexual tension is strong.† This is a fantasy romance and it never takes itself too seriously.† Yet the tension is high when they are in the middle of their mission and they realize that one of the spies may be a counteragent.
I truly enjoyed this story, despite some flaws.† There were times when the pacing was slow, and occasionally it seemed as though the two characters had covered the same ground already.† But ultimately, this is a satisfying romance with some innovative ideas and some fun.† I mean, how much more daring can a heroine get than to romp around a ballroom naked in danger of phasing back into being visible at any moment?
MacMeans has also sent up the possibility for the tales of Portia, the next oldest sister, who may have powers of her own.† The Trouble With Moonlight is an enjoyable and creative story.†

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver apologized Wednesday for comments he made regarding not wanting to have a homosexual teammate in the locker room.
SI.com's Jim Trotter tweeted out Culliver's apology.
"The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel. It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience," Culliver said in a statement.
Colliver was asked in a radio interview how he felt about having a gay teammate. The team later rejected those comments saying the organization is "no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community."
"I don't do the gay guys man, I don't do that. Nah, we ain't got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah, can't be in the locker room," Culliver said.

North Hall had a big decision to make in choosing who would replace former head football coach Bob Christmas.
Hunter Atkinson always wanted to be a Georgia Bulldog. But when the time came for the West Hall tight end to decide on his college football playing future, the Bulldogs didn't have a spot for him.
Wednesday is National Signing Day. Here is a list of area football players who have already signed National Letters of Intent. This list will be updated with more names throughout the afternoon.
Bob Christmas is saying goodbye to North Hall and returning to a place where he won a pair of state championships in the 1990s.
All-Area First Team
The ultimate goal was a state championship. And although the West Hall Spartans didn't get there this season, the program seems to certainly be on the right track.
Deshaun Watson will begin the next phase of adulthood today, when he moves away from his home for the first time and settles into life as a student at Clemson University.
Their legendary high school careers may be over, but the accolades continue to roll in for Gainesville quarterback Deshaun Watson and Buford linebacker Korie Rogers.
Being on a team with an offense as prolific as Gainesville's, Gage Turner hadn't attempted more than two field goal kicks in a single game throughout his high school career.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes' East-West Classic tonight at City Park Stadium is a celebration of all things high school football in Hall County.
Gainesville High senior quarterback Deshaun Watson received good news this week when an MRI revealed that a knee injury he sustained late in the Class AAAAA state semifinal loss against Tucker will not affect the start of his college career at Clemson University.
North Hall's Andrew Smith was named the Region 7-AAA All-Region Football Player of the Year, announced Tuesday.
Jefferson's Tradd Porter and Union County's Luther Jones were named Co-Defensive Players of the Year in Region 8-AA, announced Tuesday.
Class AAAAAA
ATLANTA - It took a little fine-tuning and a halftime rally, but Buford finished its 2013 season in typical fashion.
For Flowery Branch, tonight's game at second-ranked Northside-Warner Robins is more than a season opener.
For all the eye-popping statistics that Deshaun Watson posted during his record-setting 2012 season, the categories where he avoided large numbers may have been just as important to Gainesville's state championship run.
Chattooga at East Hall
Antonio Pittman's role as a West Hall Spartan has been increasing ever since he first stepped onto the field in Oakwood.
Dawson County struck big in crucial situations to open the season Friday against East Hall in Gainesville. Leading by a small margin with five minutes left to play, Tigers (1-0, 1-0 Region 7-AAA) quarterback Zack Buchan hit running back Cody Lamar in the open field on a third-and-long at the 30 and ran 70 yards for the score, propelling Dawson County to a 29-27 win.
Andrew Smith and Brannon Dyer were the catalysts for the North Hall offense in a 42-31 scrimmage win against Salem (Va.) on Friday in Virginia.
OAKWOOD - This year, the Battle of Oakwood went to the Spartans of West Hall.
Dawson County at East Hall

Faculty Affiliate, African Studies Program
PhD, York University,Toronto, 2003
Research Areas and Interests
- Regional and demographic consequences of economicrestructuring and globalization in Africa: particularly the socio-economic effects of development/underdevelopment in Ghana; the connection between remittances and development in Ghana
- International migration and the contemporary African Diaspora: particularly transnational experiences of Ghanaian migrants and non-migrants, the creation andmaintenance of social networks across borders, and the articulation of gender and ethnicity with transnational processes
- Demography and Immigration: how immigration policies structure social relations and social stratification across intersections of race, ethnicity, class and gender, and inform immigrants' strategies.
- Contemporary postcolonial African migration with its urban focus and its transnational character challenges established notions of citizenship, belonging, identity, diaspora and 'home'.
Current Research
My current and future research interests focus onthree broad but interrelated areas.
My first area of current research examines how diaspora Ghanaians - in England, Canada and the U.S. - negotiate and engage in citizenship claims and practices, and how they make meaning of their experiences in different places. This research examines the gendered ways migrants are enacting different levels of citizenship andbelonging at multiple scales and at multiple sites.
A second interrelated research project entails comparative analyses of the processes andexperiences underlying the increase of African and Ghanaian(specifically) migrant labor (particularly nurses) in caring work in England, Canada and the U.S. It examines the gendered processes underlying their recruitment, work experiences, and livelihood strategies that transpire transnationally.
A third focus of my research interests examines the perceptions of and interactions within and between members of the older and post-colonial African diaspora, particularly how first and second-generation African immigrants cope with and negotiate their identities in different places and spaces of the diaspora in their everyday lives, and how the different but overlapping diasporas engage with Africa in meaningful ways, throughcultural and educational exchanges, remittances, entrepreneurial investment, tourism, and political transnational activism.
Current Projects

Research on a device that could improve the public safety of watching high-definition television has led to a prestigious international Myron Zucker Award for an engineering student at a Tennessee university for the first time.
Michael Davis Smith of Cookeville, an electrical engineering graduate of Tennessee Tech University, won third prize for his design of an especially rugged and stable working prototype that can easily discern small changes in photon energy emissions, a measurement necessary to predict the radiation exposure HDTV creates.
"The primary motivation for this design was concern for public safety," said Smith. "The manufacturers of high definition television need to be very careful in considering the serious industry issue of studying the radiation exposure their products produce."
Smith, with the support of his special research and design course sponsor, TTU professor Carl A. Ventrice, turned to high definition television and predicted that harmful X-ray radiation would increase in conventional cathode-ray tube type televisions and computer monitors.
"Measuring the energy emissions generated by HDTV is difficult because you can't feel or see changes in photons," said Smith. "The X-ray or gamma ray photon wavelength remains outside the eye's sensitivity requiring a special instrument to detect and, at the same time, measure its level of energy.
"What the newly-enhanced device does is measure subtle differences in energy levels as the photon strikes a detection material," he said. "This is significant because we can accurately measure the physical reality of the level and intensity of the energy."
Smith tailored the design to be especially sensitive to a predicted continuous range of energy levels emitted by CRT's, used in television screens and many computer monitors. He says it's an important step in making sure radiation levels are maintained safely within government specified standards.
"To create a more life-like image, television manufacturers can increase the electron gun potential at the back of the television, but to do so the electrons must travel much faster to the CRT face," said Smith. "The laws of conservation of momentum and energy require that the X-ray energy emissions of the television increase in this case which can cause permanent damage to soft tissues in viewers' eyes leading to eye disease."
Smith's thesis, "Research, Design, and Construction of a Rugged Proportional Detector/Counter With Optimized Energy Resolution," placed him in the top echelon of electrical and electronics engineers.
"The top three reviewed papers are selected for this award representing the stellar few -- the very best of the world's undergraduate electrical engineering students," said Robert D. Lorenz, president of the Industrial Applications Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Annually, the Industrial Applications Society of the IEEE hosts the Zucker competition for student teams. Original design solutions are submitted from colleges around the world for the top three spots. Smith entered this year's competition as a one-man team competing against multiple-member teams and was invited to attend IAS's 36th annual conference in Chicago, Ill., to receive his award. The industrial sponsor was Spellman High Voltage Electronic Corp. of Hauppauge, N.Y., which provided a power supply for the optimized design.
Specific award selection criteria must be met: the solution of the design problem must demonstrate practical application of engineering fundamentals and engineering judgment, the written report must show quality, and there must be evidence that the industrial entity, if any, provides appropriate guidance and access to an applications environment.
Smith received a $2000 award for expenses to the annual conference and an honorarium certificate with a $400 cash honorarium to follow. Tennessee Tech's Electrical Engineering Department will receive an additional certificate and cash honorarium for his efforts.
"The completed project encompassed several engineering disciplines providing a comprehensive design experience," said Smith. "Certainly, money was not the motivating factor, but a desire to gain experience in conducting research, and to apply accumulated mathematics and scientific knowledge in some practical way. The trip to the conference provided me with an invaluable experience to talk with engineers from around the globe -- to share in a professionally nurturing atmosphere of technical fellowship. The long hours and hard work paid off quite well.
"Thanks to all who made this project possible, particularly Dr. Ventrice. His encouraging support and confidence rallied creativity in me to realize this successful outcome."
Smith graduated cum laude with a bachelor's of science in electrical engineering from TTU in August 2001. Before returning to school full time, he worked in Chattanooga with GE Medical Systems for 11 years. He survives his deceased parents, John Hunter Smith of Livingston, Tenn., and Lois Helen (Smith) Wright of Cookeville, Tenn.

Important Patient Announcement
To All of Our Families:
We want to thank you for the opportunity to take care of your family at our practice in Boulder these past years. After long consideration and in order to continue to provide the best care to our patients with chronic conditions, we have decided to move Holistic Pediatric Consulting (HPC) to Denver and join the integrative treatment center Proactive Wellness of the Rockies.
Relocation of Practice
At the end of November 2013, HPC will fully relocate to the most comprehensive autism treatment center in Colorado: Proactive Wellness of the Rockies (address at left). Please

for their website. We will no longer see patients at 1800 30th Street in Boulder.
Focus on Chronic Health Conditions
At the end of November 2013, the practice will focus on the biomedical treatment and prevention of autism, ADHD and other chronic child health issues. The practice will no longer offer routine pediatric care (e.g. routine physicals, sick visits, after hours sick calls, and sports physical exams).
Here is what you need to know:
If you currently receive treatment from HPC for your child's autism, ADHD or other chronic health condition, we would like to continue to provide this care at our office in Proactive Wellness of the Rockies in Denver.
If your child currently receives routine pediatric care from HPC, you will need to transfer to a new pediatrician or other health care provider. We will no longer offer acute sick visits. Dr. Roy Steinbok is a holistic pediatrician in Boulder and is accepting new patients. His number is (303) 318-4102. Dr. Lila Rosenthal and Dr. Kristin Van Konynenburg are holistic family physicians who also practice in Lafayette. Their phone number is (303) 444-7150.

The concept is based around binary mathematics; Where you have a series of 1's and 0's to represent larger numbers. In binary, the number furthest to the right represents 1, then 2, then 4, then 8, and so on– doubling each time. If the binary number has a 1, you add the value of that place to the number, and if it's a 0, you skip it. This is what makes computers work. In the game, you have eight places (which run from 1 to 128) that you can switch on and off. You're given a number between 1 and 255 (as high as eight places can calculate), and then you're timed on how long it takes you to flip the switches on or off to get the right binary number.Read more »
iPhone Math: RPG + (Match 3) = Puzzle Quest
What do you get when you combine he best parts of an old school RPG with the best parts of a Match 3 puzzle game? You'll get an extremely frustrating, but crazy-fun game like Puzzle Quest. Puzzle Quest is a great game that originally was released on the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP. It's done so well on those systems, that it's been brought over to the iPhone. I played the DS version (and really loved it), so I must say that this is a great conversion. The concept of Puzzle Quest is based around the Match 3 puzzle (think Bejeweled). All combat is handled with this puzzle system. As you match the jewels of each color, you get mana from them to cast magical spells (1 mana per jewel). You also match purple virus-looking things for extra experience points, and piles of gold coins for more money from the battle. Most importantly, you match skulls to do damage to your opponent. The magic spells are where the strengths come in. For example, a Rouge comes with a spell called Sneak Attack. It costs 5 green and 5 blue mana, and does 3 damage to your opponent without ending your turn. Those can add up! Another is the one that knights come with: Thrust.Read more »

iPhone Review: Space Bikers
Here at TPG, we generally base our verdict entirely on a game's title. The text is then generated by taking a Spanish-language review, converting it to English via Google's translator, and then running it through Word's auto-summarize feature for good measure before stamping our name on it. Based on that criteria, a game called Space Bikers should get a "buy it" verdict followed by a resounding ¡muy bueno! In an event that will later prove to have your wallet thanking me, and my brain committing seppuku, I was possessed to actually play a game I had been assigned to review. In doing so, I discovered exactly what it takes to make 99 cents feel like a waste of money.Space Bikers revolves around the lives of three tiny aliens who crash-land on earth and must pull together to repair their ship to return home. What follows is a tale of intrigue and suspense, tying your heartstrings in a knot before moving on to other emotional metaphors. And by that I mean it's a 2-d platformer. Not in space; not racing.Read more »

Resistance: Retribution Review (PSP)
Bend Studios, creators of such titles as Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow, has quite a knack for PSP development. Those last two games were critical successes, and thought by many to be the PSP games of the year for their respective year. Now, Bend has another PSP title on its hands, this time Resistance: Retribution. One of the most anticipated games of this year, I am glad to report that it leads the PSP remarkably into what perhaps will be its greatest year. In Retribution, you play as James Grayson, a British mercenary. On a mission in a Chimeran conversion center, he is forced to kill his own brother to prevent his transformation into something inhuman. Grayson consequently deserts his squad, and takes out as many conversion centers as he possibly can to avenge his brother. Some time later, he is sentenced to death for military abandonment, however the French Maquis bail him out to fight for them in the nick of time. The rest of the game focuses on Grayson's experiences and employment under the Maquis.Read more »

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Although tasty, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is slightly less intense and powerful compared to the 2010. It reveals supple tannins, abundant black fruit and spice notes, and an easy-drinking yet seriously endowed, medium to full-bodied personality. Drink it over the next decade."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark, powerful and implosive. A cool, reticent wine, the 2011 is playing its cards close to the vest today.

this sounds like a neutral problem
I have a seasonal use cabin in the mountains of NC and have numerous problems with electrical and electronic devices. My wife jokes that a body must be buried under the house and its ghost is driving us nuts. In three years:
1. Refrigerator board intermittently beeping. I located the noisemaker, snipped it off. Also the temperature controller stopped working, and stuck itself freezer 0, fridge 33 (perfect). One year later the fridge changed to 40 (not so perfect). Also ice maker worked, then stopped working, now works again.
2. Brand new Mr Coffee coffee maker- kaput.
3. Pet Smart radio fence. The charger and the unit stopped working.
4. X10 touch tone controller stopped working.
5. Plug-in phone (simple streamline unit) stopped working.
6. Aquastat relay on the boiler broke- short in the circuit board.
7. LL Bean (plug in) alarm clock stopped working.
8. Bass unit on Sony stereo stops working occasionally. Slap it on the side to get it going again.
9. Circuit that powers exterior outlets stopped working. I still have not figured out why.
Is this normal for a new house or is something odd happening? They did install a new power main from the base of the mountain all the way to a new development close by last year, but stuff is still happening. We alway have (still do) get short power failures about once/ 2 weeks. Last time I checked the voltage at the house was 124.
this sounds like a neutral problem
I grew up in the Yadkin Valley of NC. I lived in a little community called Rock Creek about half way between Roaring River and North Wilkesboro.
I ran around in Elkin most of my Teenage years hanging out around the area where the Waffle House is located at I-77 and 268. I also spent a lot of time in Trap Hill area on the south side of Stone Mountain.
I attended North Wilkes High School and Mountain View Elementary.
This is some of the most beautiful country that God ever created.
With the loss of all those electronics it sounds like you are losing the neutral causing the house to become a series 240 volt circuit instead of parallel 120 volts.
I got here as soon as I could, and have been here for 11 years.
So this could be a bad connection to the neutral bus bar in the panel, or possibly at the service connection at the utilitys transformer, right?
The former I can check myself next time Im there, probably in two weeks. I'll check the connection between the main at the breaker panel for tightness. I can also test for continuity across that connection. I can also rig up an extension cord at test between the ground rod at the transformer and the neutral bus in my breaker cabinet. Am I on the right track?
In rural areas, there can be all sorts of power outages and voltage surges.
In addition to having your electric company check for neutral problems, I would suggest getting a "whole house surge protector" which would be installed in your main panel. And then get good quality surge protectors for each outlet where you have something electronic plugged in.
I live in a rural area and we have all sorts of power problems. (All my clocks are battery operated, I've given up resetting the electronic clocks.) Anyway I have the above surge protection and have not had anything electronic go bad.
Also a nearby lightning strike can cause these problems. If this was the case, you insurance company may pay for the damage. Lightning is quite weird. I've seen homes where one thing was blown up (fried), but in the next room the electronic gizmos worked just fine! Other times everything in the house is fried.
P.S. For the main lugs in a breaker panel and meter panel, the lugs need to be torqued with a torque wrench to the specifications printed on the box label. Needless to say, if there is live power there, you would want your electric company to do this for you.
Also if there is aluminum wiring for the main service, this should have had anti-oxidant "goop" applied to the bare wire before installation. I use a toothbrush to brush this stuff on. (An old toothbrush that is. )
This house is located in a "saddle" between two mountain peaks, 4900' high near the Eastern Continental Divide. So yeah, we get all kinds of lightning. The utility company is actually called "Mountain Electric" out of nearby Tennessee. The utility only takes responsibility at the street and will not go on the property. They even require the meter to be at the street on a 4x4 post. Everything is buried from 2 miles down the road with pad mounted transformers.
I was planning on checking the resistance between the main nuetral and the panel before I touched it. As I recall it is a large allen wrench fitting. Anything else on the hot side and I'll just call my electrician.
Here's a Leviton whole house surge protector for under $200. Any recomendations on this would be appreciated. I assume that this goes on the hot side ahead of the panel and would be installed by my electrician. Maybe I'll just have him put this along with another little job that I was planning at the same time. http://www.smarthome.com/4860.html
Actually they connect to the panel, does not need to be ahead of the panel.
They also have whole house surge protectors which look like a double breaker and they go in a spare double breaker slot. Only they don't have a trip bar on them and have little LED lights. Might be less expensive for the breaker slot kind if you have a double slot free and they make one for your panel.
SmartHome sells three different units:
Intermatic 1200 joules 48KA $80
Leviton 950Joules 50KA $191
Primax GPP800S 2700joules 60KA $120
The Primax seems like the best deal although I'm not familiar with that manufacturer. In the product information they have this statement:
I'd like to know that that means.UL listed for
installation before the main disconnect as a
Surge Arrester or after the main disconnect as a
Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor.
The way these gizmos work is they typically have devices inside them called "varistors" or "metal oxide varistors" or "MOV's".
These are basically switches which turn on if the voltage exceeds a certain amount. Like with a voltage surge.
These are wired to "short" to the ground connection.
So say a high voltage wire falls and contacts the lower voltage wire serving your house. A big prolonged voltage surge enters your electric service. Then these MOV's short to ground. My thinking is that if these are installed *after* the breaker (in the panel), they might trip the main breaker. But if installed before the main breaker, then no chance they would trip the main breaker.
Also if you have a lot of individual surge protectors wired to this and that in the house, these would also at the same time be shorting to ground.
So my thinking is that with all these protectors shorting the hot wires to ground, there would be a good chance the main breaker would trip, stopping the further entry of the high voltage.
I don't know if this is the case or not. I know these MOV's will get "fried" if there is too much of a surge and they no longer short to ground after that.
Anyway that is my thinking...

Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich Need a Lesson in Women's History
Disaffected women are packing up to flee the Republican party in the wake of the War on Women.
Disaffected women are packing up to flee the Republican Party in the wake of the War on Women, The Washington Post reported on its front page. Meanwhile, President Obama's re-election campaign is sending out a massive signal to energize pro-choice women and welcome them into the Democratic Party, The New York Times said on its Sunday front page.
Good, good. Women are clearly the critical constituency to choose the next president. That's just what the Republican Party deserves for its hostile challenge to women and girls making their own decisions about their own lives. Sometimes you wonder if Republican candidates know that women actually have the right to vote. Let's face it, neither Mitt, Rick, nor Newt is exactly a woman's man. They are out-and-out men's men.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Catholic contraception controversy.]
Has former Gov. Mitt Romney or former Sen. Rick Santorum or former House Speaker Newt Gingrich ever read Virginia Woolf? Do they even know who Margaret Sanger is? What about the spitfire Quaker Alice Paul? She led the women suffrage movement to victory over seven or more years of struggle. This happened in 1920, like 92 years ago, gentlemen. Paul took women's suffrage public, to the streets and to the White House gates, where the strategy was to remind President Woodrow Wilson what the right thing to do was. Paul and other suffragettes were arrested, abused, and force fed in jail. Nothing would stop them until women won the right to citizenship in our democracy.
Note: women suffrage was not given; it was taken. We women today should study pages from Paul's book on civil disobedience, especially if the War on Women continues to close in on overturning Roe v. Wade, the cornerstone Supreme Court decision that makes reproductive rights—human rights—legal and private.
Margaret Sanger brought you and me birth control. She made up the useful phrase in the interest of saving women's lives. As a nurse, she was outraged to see young married immigrants on the Lower East Side dying in childbirth or from botched abortions. The death of Sadie Sachs was the catalyst, she said, a 28-year-old mother who begged a doctor to tell her how to prevent another pregnancy. "Well, it can't be done," he answered. "I'll tell you the only thing to do....Tell Jake to sleep on the roof."
[Read the U.S. News debate: Will the Culture Wars Benefit the GOP in the 2012 Election?]
Months after witnessing that predicament, Sanger answered a call to the Sachs home, where she found Sadie Sachs on her deathbed, surrounded by a scene of her weeping family.
Sanger's cause came from that personal encounter. "The sun came up and threw its reflection over the house tops. It was the dawn of a new day in my life," she declared. "I would tell the world what was going on in the lives of these poor women." In 1916, she opened a women's health clinic in Brooklyn and founded the organization that became Planned Parenthood, the gleam in the eye of one spirited, determined woman. Like Roe v. Wade, it has been besieged lately, as another front in the War on Women.
Sanger's life is an incredible mirror of her times, especially the free-thinking, defiant mood of Roaring '20s. Like her contemporary Paul, she too got arrested and spent time in jail in 1917. Under a court order not to give a public speech, she gagged herself and stood next to the eminent historian and Harvard professor Arthur Schlesinger, Sr. as he read her words. She traveled the world to seek ways of safe birth control. Unfortunately, she subscribed to an intellectual trend called eugenics (before the Nazi era.)
[Mary Kate Cary: The Republican Party Must Win Back Women Voters]
Paul and Sanger would ask, what's wrong with us, defending what's already been done? If I were to interview them today, they would be eager to know what progress women have made. And what would I tell them—President Clinton's Family and Medical Leave Act?
They might say to me that their endeavors went beyond the ballot and women's health. These were vehicles to empower women to speak with their own voices and to determine their own destinies to make this more truly a democracy.
[See a collection of political cartoons on healthcare.]
Virginia Woolf, the brilliant English novelist, essayist, and diarist, created the feminist metaphor of a room of one's own in a manifesto on furthering women's liberties in life. She lived in the same age as Sanger and Paul. Such a shame these three never met.
Getting back to Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich, well might we ask how much room there is for women in their Americas.

UCLA a Pioneer in Heritage Language Instruction, including Asian Languages
UCLA is helping to develop an invaluable American resource -- heritage language speakers. <i>UCLA Today</i> details the effort in several languages including Chinese and Korean with plans to offer such instruction in Thai and other South and Southeast Asian languages.
Published: Tuesday, December 10, 2002
At stake is the fate of a group believed to stand the best chance ... of developing a command of a foreign language at a level required for international trade, professional transactions and national security.
This article originally appeared in UCLA Today (December 10, 2002).
Leader in heritage language education
By Meg Sullivan
UCLA Today
The daughter of Korean immigrants, Linda Kim grew up in Southern California reciting Korean nursery rhymes and singing Korean songs. But she can hardly read or write, much less conduct an adult conversation, in Korean.
"I want to be a pediatrician to help my fellow Koreans, but I just don't have enough of a grasp of the language," said the physiological science major.
So Kim enrolled this fall in special UCLA courses for the region's growing ranks of "heritage language learners," students who grow up conversant — but not literate or fluent — in a foreign language.
"Because of their upbringing, heritage learners have the opportunity to achieve higher proficiency than other students," said Olga Kagan, director of UCLA's Language Resource Center and a heritage language authority. "But bringing them up to speed is a challenge because their needs are unique."
At stake is the fate of a group believed to stand the best chance in American culture of developing a command of a foreign language at a level required for international trade, professional transactions and national security.
"In the wake of Sept. 11, tapping the potential of these students is seen as increasingly important for American interests," Kagan said.
But when heritage language students are placed in courses alongside students with no previous exposure to the language, the result can be frustrating for both groups, said Shoichi Iwasaki, director of South and South Asian Language and Cultures.
"Heritage students become bored with the slow pace and drop out," he noted, "while other students become intimidated."
Finding solutions is especially critical in Los Angeles, where the 2000 Census found that 54% of residents speak a language other than English at home, said Russell Campbell, an emeritus professor of applied linguistics and a pioneer in the field.
"Given our demographics and national security concerns, we'd be missing a real opportunity if we didn't take a leadership role in this area," Campbell said.
Armed with more than $500,000 in new grants (and up to $400,000 more in the works), the College of Letters and Science has launched a series of initiatives aimed at helping students like Kim. They include:
A computer program to teach literacy to heritage learners in a range of languages;
A heritage language curriculum for use with any language;
An immersion program for heritage learners interested in developing a professional-level command of Korean;
Additional heritage language courses in several Asian languages;
The nation's first heritage language scholarly journal.
With courses for "English-plus" students in 10 languages, the College already lays claim to having the most heritage language "tracks" of any University of California campus. UCLA is also home to two ongoing projects with heritage language components: Languages of LA, a study that explores the region's non-English speakers, and Korean Language Development for Teachers, an outreach program for K-12 educators whose students often come from Korean-speaking homes.
As another measure of prominence, the Language Resource Center convened a conference over the summer to develop guidelines for heritage language instruction at the college level. The guidelines, which were adopted last month by the UC system, will represent the first formal directives of their kind in higher education.
"UCLA is rapidly becoming the nation's leader in heritage language," said Kagan, a senior lecturer in Russian and author of the first Russian heritage language textbook.

We had a couple visitors at our flaghsip store yesterday and we wanted to share some pics.
First were the Los Angeles Clippers, who are in town to take on our 76ers this evening.
Trey Thompkins, Caron Butler, Chris Paul, Travis Leslie, Eric Bledsoe
Just minutes after the Clippers left, NBA All Star and Philadelphia 76er Andre Iguodala came in.
After Andre, Duke grad and Detroit native Mike Posner made his first visit to our flagship store. As you can see below Mike made a very smart purchase. That 1949 Red Wings jacket is one of our all time favorites.
Thanks to the guys above, and to all of our retail customers who continue to make the Mitchell & Ness Flagship Store one of Philadelphia's must see destinations.

Week3Day6- only 28 cardio, 14 UBWO, 14 LBWO to go!
NOTES: made it to another free day (it's funny how I find myself counting the weeks by free days), still need to make up the LBWO from yesterday but no cheats on eating for the third week in a row- who would have thought it??? Definitely NOT me. It really is hard to believe that almost three weeks have passed and it has been relatively easy once I got into the groove of bfl eating and working out.
Although I have heard this many times before, today was the first day that it started to sink in that these last 3 weeks of my life were going to pass regardless of whether I was doing bfl or not. And so will the next 9 weeks. Because I made the choice and stuck with the program, I am different and 3 weeks closer to the person I want to be and body I want. Had I chosen to continue to sit on my tush on the couch, I would be the same, heavy and feeling completely helpless about it. Choices.
63 days to go!
FREE DAY- no workout
Meals- ugh, non-bfl food upsets my stomach by the end, when will I learn...
Breakfast- 1 1/2 fried eggs, 1/4 cinnamon raisin bagel w/ cream cheese, 2 slices brown sugar bacon, 1/2 c yellow grits with butter
Lunch- 2 slices Wicks pizza, 1 cheese bread stick, 2 Reese Cups, diet coke
small piece chocolate bday cake (went to a friends 40th bday party but didn't eat dinner because we were going to Outback)
Dinner- Outback- some cheese fries and ranch dressing, one small piece of bread with butter, small piece of prime rib and au jus (yum), 1/2 loaded baked potato, a few spoonfuls of mashed potatoes, a few bites of steak, some Caesar salad, a few bites of carrot cake, a few bites of a brownie sundae
less than 1/2 gallon of water
Week3Day7- only 28 cardio, 14 UBWO, 14 LBWO to go!
NOTES: As I thought, was not able to make it to the gym today. Now I've got 2 workouts to make up. So tired and brainfried from school work. Hubby got food poisoning sometime yesterday, on free day no less - it would be funny if he weren't so sick...lol. But he's pretty miserable and the first thing he said after he got done throwing up forever was "Well, I just got rid of free day"....uhm, not the way I particularly want to go about it but you have to admire his focus...lol.
Hard to believe tomorrow starts week 4.
9:00 #1- protein shake
12:00 #2- protein shake
2:00 #3- protein shake
4:30 #4- 1/2 c eggbeaters, 2 eggs, 2 slices ww toast with butter spray
7:30 #5- turkey burger, 1/2 sweet potato, steamed broccoli, 2 slices avocado
less than 1 gallon water
End of Week 3 Update: Total lost- 9 lbs
Beginning weight- 252
Week 1- 248
Week 2- 245
Week 3- 243
NOTES- Its been a weird week- off and on sick, missed 2 workouts but stuck to the eating plan. No differences to report, I've been feeling so sick, can't even celebrate.
Week4Day1- only 28 cardio, 14 UBWO, 13 LBWO to go!
NOTES: Well, not food poisoning and definitely NOT funny. About an hour after hubby started throwing up, our daughter started as well. It was a VERY long night and they were/are very sick. As today went on, I have felt worse and worse (but not throwing up thank goodness). Not hungry, but tried to stick to eating bfl. I went to the gym anyway after work- I've already got 2 workouts to make up this week, I didn't want to get behind another one. Got in a decent LBWO but it was rough, felt so sick. I had originally thought I would makeup the missed cardio workout today but that's because I was out of my mind. No way. I practically crawled home. I am going to cut myself some slack and give myself the whole week to work in the missed workouts. Right now, a cardio session seems so beyond me.,,
61 days to go!
*5 min warmup jog, at 3.7
*no cooldown jog- just couldn't do it
10:00 #1- protein shake
2:30 #2- 4 HB eggs/ 1 1/2 yolks, 2 small clementines
5:30 #3- protein shake
9:00 #4- 1/2 c eggbeaters, 2 eggs, 1/2 c brown rice, carrots, broccoli, 1 tsp soy sauce
Week4Day1- only 28 cardio, 14 UBWO, 13 LBWO to go
NOTES: still feeling really rough, slept instead of going to workout. Will have to try to make it up later this week when I'm feeling better.
60 days to go!
*no workout
11:00 #1- 2 lite cheese sticks, 1 apple
1:30 #2- lowfat cottage cheese, greek yogurt
7:30 #3- grilled lean ground beef burger, spinach salad w/ 2T balsamic vinaigrette, sweet potato fries
sorry above was Week4Day2
Week4Day3- only 28 cardio, 14 UBWO, 13 LBWO to go
NOTES: hopefully this is the last day down. It turns out we had 2 strains of flu come through our house, the standard one and the nasty throw up one, and it looks like we have survived. I didn't make it to the gym today again, I slept 13 hours straight and now am feeling human again. Still managed to keep to clean eating. A miracle. Another miracle- we have made it through this with no random pizza ordering or drive thru's because it would have been easier and that has totally built my confidence. Praise God something good came out of this!
59 days to go!
1:30 #1- 1/2 egg beaters, 2 eggs, 2 slices ww toast, butter spray
4:30 #1- 2 lite cheese sticks, 2 small clementines
7:30 #3- grilled turkey burger, sweet potato fries, steamed broccoli
Workouts to makeup- will try to work them back in over the next week or so
Cardio- 2
Week4Day4- only 27 cardio, 13 UBWO, 13 LBWO to go
NOTES: so good to be feeling better and back to real life! Made it to the gym- today was cardio day- and knocked out a UBWO and a cardio, so I'm only down 1 LBWO and 2 cardio. Still getting back up to speed so cardio was probably a 7-8, but UBWO hit all 10s. I'm guessing my muscles had plenty of time to repair because upper body felt strong. I did notice that even with just a few days out of the gym, my body in general felt less muscled. Definitely want that back!
I think being sick is finally making me branch out into different food. I was scared to drink the Myoplex shakes while I was sick for fear of throwing up and then never being able to stomach them again. They are such an easy meal that I didn't want to take that chance. I still haven't had one. Maybe tomorrow. Tuna sounded disgusting while I was sick and still makes me queasy when I think about it so I'm holding off on bringing tuna back too. Feels good to be moving forward again!
58 days to go!
Meals- need to get back to 6 meals a day
9:00 #1- 1/2 egg beaters, 2 eggs, 1 slice ww toast, butter spray, salsa
2:30 #1- 2 lite cheese sticks, 2 small clementines
6:30 #3- sliced strawberries, lowfat cottage cheese
8:30 #4- crumbled browned ground turkey, wild rice, green peas mixed to together in a bowl with a little Bragg's Liquid Amino Acid (all-natural, tastes like soy sauce without all the sodium)- was really, really good, made extra to keep on hand in fridge
less than 1 gallon water- need to get my water intake back up!
Week4Day5- only 27 cardio, 13 UBWO, 12 LBWO to go
NOTES: got a good lower body workout in, have to up my weights- legs feel pretty strong although lunges, even with just body weight, kick my butt. Hubby is now back from the dead and getting back on track. Being sick took a lot out of him.
We are liking wild rice but I need to back it down to once a day- I'd rather get most of my carbs from other sources.
Tomorrow is our fourth free day and still going strong. Amazing. Tonight we went to a church function with snacks, of course. We brought a veggie tray. I was good. Surprisingly it was pretty easy although I did pack a couple of no-bake peanut butter cookies into my pocket for tomorrow. I also have a Reese Cup that has been in the freezer since last free day and keeps falling out onto my foot every time I open the freezer door (still in its wrapper of course!). This shows amazing self-discipline on my part, really. A Reese Cup has never lasted more than an hour in my house, and that includes Halloween. That baby is mine tomorrow. These are really, really great changes- I am excited!
57 days to go!
*5 min warmup jog at 3.8
*LBWO- will need to up weights
*5 min cooldown jog at 3.8
Meals- still need to get back to 6 meals a day
9:30 #1- 2 lite cheese sticks, 1 apple
2:30 #3- crumbled browned ground turkey, wild rice, green peas
6:30 #4- 2 lite cheese sticks, 1 apple, raw broccoli and carrots
10:00 #5- grilled chicken, wild rice, steamed broccoli
less than 1 gallon water- still need to get my water intake back up!
Week4Day6- only 27 cardio, 13 UBWO, 12 LBWO to go
NOTES: FREE DAY. I'm finding I'm a grazer on free day, a little of this a little of that, to get all the tastes in. Here's a funny thing....my favorites don't taste as good anymore. I took two bites of a Krispy Kreme donut this morning (one bite, and then a second bite to confirm it didn't taste so great) and threw the rest in the trash. Its a good sign but its kind of sad too, in a way. Some of these guys have been my friends for so many years (ok- frenemies, definitely have not been GOOD for me). You know what I mean. If I was sad, Krispy Kremes were there; angry, disappointed, celebrating, bored...always there for me. I'm not sure how to handle it now that they've changed- actually now that I'VE changed. I'm not sure how to handle it except to decide that if it doesn't taste amazing, I quit eating it because free day is reserved for the BEST and I'm not wasting the calories. I did manage to FINALLY get my brownie fix! Yay!
56 days to go!
*No Workouts - free day
Meals- it turned into a fast food day somehow because we were out and about, felt weird
Breakfast- 2 slices bacon, 1 waffle with butter and syrup, 2 bites of a glazed Krispy Kreme donut, licked the bowl of the brownie mix...yum
Lunch- 1/4 ham and cheese sandwich with mayo, a whopper jr with cheese (decided I wanted the whopper jr instead of the sandwich), some doritos, 2 brownies, a diet coke
Snack- 1/2 Taco Bell nachos, small cheeseburger
Dinner- BBQ sandwich with some coleslaw, some potato salad, some shoestring fries, 1 nobake cookie, diet coke
1/2 gallon of water
Week4Day7- only 27 cardio, 13 UBWO, 12 LBWO to go
NOTES: So didn't get a workout in, had a project due at midnight and was under a time crunch all day. Didn't finish everything up until almost 1am and had to work in the morning. I am not going to beat myself up but keep moving forward. Hubby and I really feel like this can be a lifestyle for us so we're in it for the long haul. I will try to make it up later in the week if I can. But if I can't, I'm ok with that. This really is a big change for me. Before, I would have already dived into a pizza because I didn't do it perfectly. I know I'm training the body of a champion, its about time I start training the mind of one as well, don't you think?
55 days to go!
*No workout- missed a cardio
9:00 #1- 1/2 c eggbeaters, 2 eggs, 1 slice ww toast
2:30 #3- protein shake
4:30 #4- lowfat cottage cheese, greek yogurt
7:00 #5- grilled chicken, wild rice, steamed broccoli mixed in a bowl with Braggs (not as good as the turkey/peas combo)
10:00 #6- protein shake
End of Week 4 Update: Total lost- 11 lbs
Week 4- 241
NOTES- will try to get some measurements done and posted
*down from size 22 to a 20
*have had to pull the hooks on my bra in to the smallest size around the ribcage
*legs feel really strong
*am losing my double chin slowly
Week5Day1- only 27 cardio, 13 UBWO, 11 LBWO to go
NOTES: on to Week 5! Felt good to get a great workout in. Still getting tired easily, am still rebuilding my stamina from being sick I guess. Thought I would try to add an additional cardio in to make up one but didn't make it.
54 days to go!

An important cornerstone of Notary ethics is accepting all lawful and reasonable requests for notarization, regardless of how the Notary feels about the signer or the document. Article I-A-3 of The Notary Public Code of Professional Responsibility lays out the particulars of this provision.
Notaries should remember not to let their personal feelings dictate whether they accept or refuse notarization requests for documents, even if the subject of the document is controversial.
For example, in Arizona, a legal battle over new state abortion regulations has raised tensions on both sides of this emotionally charged issue as the fight has moved to court.
Several provisions of the new state laws, House Bill 2564 and Senate Bill 1175, including the provision requiring parental consent forms for a minors abortion to be notarized, have been blocked by a court order pending the resolution of lawsuits filed earlier this year.

LINCOLN — Jason Ankrah had just removed his helmet and met up with his defensive mates on the Nebraska sideline when he heard the Michigan Stadium roar last Saturday.
Ankrah glanced at the video board to see that the Huskers had fumbled the punt after a defensive stop, and Michigan was back in possession of the football.
Time to answer the bell, thought the NU senior defensive end, as a sideline meeting with defensive coordinator John Papuchis ended just moments after it started.
"It was, 'All right, let's go get 'em off the field,' and we echoed that down the line," Ankrah said. "From the linemen to the linebackers to the secondary, we all got on the same page and just made sure that, no matter what, they weren't going to get in the end zone."
At a different time this season, maybe some heads would have lowered or some shoulders might have slumped. The Nebraska defense often didn't need anything else dropped in its lap.
This time?
NU safety Corey Cooper said the defense actually fed off the crowd noise and the challenge, which included the Wolverines taking over at the Huskers' 26-yard line with 10:03 left in a 10-10 game.
And for the fifth time in the past six quarters, the Blackshirts refused to let a turnover break the team's back.
"Actually, it fires us up," Cooper said. "Their crowd got loud, they picked up a little momentum, and we just know that's our time where we've got to step up and give our offense another chance."
Derrick Green ran for 1 yard on first down before David Santos tackled the Michigan tailback for a 2-yard loss on second. After a 4-yard run by quarterback Devin Gardner, the Wolverines settled for a 40-yard field goal.
Nebraska then followed with its 14-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to win the game before a deflated crowd of 112,204.
"We just know if we keep giving our offense a chance, they're going to deliver for us," Cooper said.

The maligned Husker defense has had a huge hand in the past two wins by getting NU out of tough situations after offensive or special teams mistakes.
Since halftime of the Northwestern game, Nebraska has allowed just 31 yards and one first down on the five possessions by the Wildcats and Wolverines after NU turnovers — 16 of the yards coming on one play.
The past three possessions have started in Husker territory. And the two where NU held Northwestern and Michigan to field goals were immediately followed by the game-winning drives.
"I think we're tougher, in terms of just the mindset that we take the field with," Papuchis said. "I think we've grown up. There's a little bit of a maturation with those guys. Even when we're in bad situations, there's a confidence that we're going to go out there and get our job done."
Nebraska hadn't always had the same kind of defensive stubbornness.
Northwestern had turned an NU interception almost immediately into a touchdown in a 21-point first half in that Nov. 2 game. The week before at Minnesota, the Gophers took a key midfield fumble and traveled inside the 10 before a field goal put them ahead 17-10.
"Sometimes you are going to give up points, let's face it," NU cornerback Ciante Evans said. "We were fortunate that we haven't given up touchdowns. You've just got to continue to fight, regardless of the situation."
If the NU defense felt its back against the wall against Michigan, it was nothing like the week before after an interception against Northwestern. The Wildcats took over at the Husker 7 with 2:25 to go in a 21-21 game.
Northwestern got to the 1 on first down, but Nebraska actually pushed it backward and the Wildcats settled for a 21-yard field goal with 1:20 left, setting up the Huskers' winning finish.
"I was proud of our guys in this past game just like I was proud of them against Northwestern," Papuchis said, "in that there was a moment in that game where it didn't look real good."
